I just love this book and now, having read it for so many times I get a chance to write a review.
The best scene is definately the night among the elves where Eragon magically recovers from Durzas wound having had to suffer for so long.
The plot is amazing. Although, sometimes reader is forced to look away from main plot and focus on Roran's adventures, the book is worth to read.
I admit I was seriously disappointed in this book. Of course I know Hobb's style where the book gets to the true action in the end, but at least, in previus novels, the beginning hasn't been AS boring.

Already in the beginning the reader can guess, that the main plot will start when the main character goes to an "university" to become an officer. What I don't understand is, why does it take half a book for him to reach there? Only some minor things happen in the beginning and to be honest then the long and boring beginning ruined this book for me.
Perhaps I expected too much of it, having chosen this one above so many others in London's book-stores. First time hobb has disappointed me, but I will still look forward to next parts in hopes the plot will become more interesting, since the other half of the book was't that bad at all.
